The retail markup on ethernet cables is just disgusting.

Edit: If you know a college student, most colleges give away ethernet cables to students for free.

Well, try local shops first. Second, try online. Pricewatch has a good listing of cheap computer parts.

For example, here's their page for online stores selling 100ft ethernet cables.

Check that in cooperation with resellerratings.com to choose a store that'll have good customer service, and you're set.

I had to buy some ethernet a little while back and I found that ebay is the cheapest. I bought from this seller good quality stuff to some of the best I have seen.

I might be ableto hook you up with some uncrimped cable that long. Let me know. I should have a roll of 1000 FT. I could probably even crip it for you.

I love that kit over at Geeks.com. I feel so extraordinarily manly when I whip that shit out.

OH YOU NEED A CABLE? HELL YEA I CAN DO THAT.

That's right, baby. Feel the cable. You love it.

 

[SuprTnr2]

Yeah, it really is a lot more cost effective just to make your own

 

[doubledown]

EBAY was pretty cheap also...I think I got 100ft for around 20 shipped.

 

[LaraCroftsLeftBoob]

sweet, i was hoping to find some cheap cable to go with my cheap ps2 network adapter- $9.50 brand new.

 

[shady859]

I get all my cables for everything off of Ebay, markup is crazy for all this stuff. Don't even get me started on Monster Cables............
